Global Citizen Festival History

Held annually in New York City’s Central Park since 2011, the Global Citizen Festival aims to raise awareness on extreme global poverty, the empowerment of women and improving sanitary conditions across the world. With an ambitious mission to completely eradicate extreme poverty by 2030, the U.N.’s Global Goals Sustained Development agenda will officially launch in 2015 and be campaigned by several of music’s biggest acts at the GCF in late-September.

Past headliners at the Global Citizen Festival include Neil Young, Tiesto, Foo Fighters and married duo Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Beyoncé will once again grace the stage during 2015’s festival alongside Pearl Jam, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran.

The third annual festival in 2014 saw Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, give a seven-minute speech urging global citizens to do their part in helping better the earth and make it more environmentally suitable. Greater than 60,000 attend the music festival each year and more than $1.6 billion has been raised to help combat extreme poverty globally.

New to 2015 is the festival’s unique ticketing scheme. All General Admission tickets are free, but fans must undergo eight “Global Steps” in order to enter a raffle sweepstakes that will pick 24,000 winners over six different drawings between July 29 and September 21. Those steps include everything from simple tweets shedding light on the festival to personal calls to global leaders concerning sanitary and water conditions across the world. Each winner will receive a pair of tickets, totaling 48,000 free General Admission tickets being given away.
